INTELLIGENT DISPLAY
First Claim
1. A medical image display apparatus for displaying medical images of a lung on a screen, comprising:
- a network interface configured to receive positional information of a navigation instrument from a position sensor of the navigation instrument, a video stream from an optical sensor of the navigation instrument, and medical images from an imaging device;
a memory storing a plurality of medical images and instructions;
a processor configured to execute the instructions; and
a display configured to dynamically display images on the screen,wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the medical image display apparatus to determine whether status information indicates a pathway reviewing mode, a target management mode, or a navigation mode; and
wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the display to dynamically select and update images, which are displayed on the screen, among the plurality of medical images based on the positional information of the navigation instrument and status information.

Abstract
A medical image display apparatus for displaying medical images of a lung on a screen includes a network interface receiving positional information of a navigation instrument from a position sensor of the navigation instrument, a video stream from an optical sensor of the navigation instrument, and medical images from an imaging device, a memory storing a plurality of medical images and instructions, a processor executing the instructions, and a display dynamically displaying images on the screen. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the medical image display apparatus to determine whether status information indicates a pathway reviewing mode, a target management mode, or a navigation mode. The instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the display to dynamically select and update images, which are displayed on the screen, among the plurality of medical images based on the positional information of the navigation instrument and status information.

19. A medical image display system for displaying medical images on a screen, comprising:
-
an imaging device configured to captures images of a patient; a navigation instrument configured to navigate inside of the patient, to transmit positional information obtained by a position sensor and video stream obtained by an optical sensor; and an apparatus comprising; a network interface configured to receive the positional information and the video stream from the navigation instrument and the captured images from the imaging device; a processor configured to execute instructions; a memory storing a plurality of medical images and the instructions; and a display configured to display images on the screen, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to determine a status of the navigation instrument, which indicates whether the navigation instrument transmits the positional information and the video stream; and wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the display to dynamically select and update images, which are displayed on the screen, among a plurality of images based on the positional information and status information of the navigation instrument.

20. A method for dynamically displaying medical images of a lung on a display of a display device, which stores slice images of the lung, three-dimensional (3D) map of the lung, and a pathway plan to a target, the method comprising:
-
determining whether status information of the display device indicates a pathway reviewing mode, a navigation mode, or a target management mode; receiving positional information from a navigation instrument, which indicates a position of a position sensor of the navigation instrument navigating the lung; and displaying medical images based on the determined status information and the positional information, wherein the displayed medical images include the 3D map and virtual bronchoscopic video images, which are overlaid with the pathway plan and the target, when the determined status information is the pathway reviewing mode, wherein the displayed medical images include the 3D map, the virtual or live bronchoscopic video images, and slice images, all of which synchronously track the positional of the position sensor, when the determined status information is the navigation mode, wherein the displayed medical images include three slice images, which are taken from three independent directions, and a maximum intensity projection image displaying the target, when the determined status information is the target management mode, and wherein when one image is panned or zoomed in the navigation mode, all images and the 3D map are synchronously panned or zoomed correspondingly.
